Indexing new Sites faster

Have a new site? Want search engines to index it fast? Well, the best method to index a site quickly is to get it linked to an already indexed site.

Manually sumbiting your site to all search engines will take weeks or even months to get your site indexed. Sometimes they just don’t index it.

If your site has a blog, claim it in Technorati. Claiming your blog in Technorati will get your site indexed quick.

This site was indexed by Google even before I thought of submiting it. All thanks to Technorati !


Social Bookmarking Plugin for WordPress

I have always wanted this plugin, a few days ago I did a Google search on social bookmarking plugin for wordpress and got what I wanted.

At first I had a few problems downloading the plugin as the page had issues when viewed with Opera. I contacted the author and he fixed it in a few days.

0.35 is the  current version of the plugin, but Sociable V 1.0 will be released in the next few days. It has been completely rewritten with a bevy of new features added including support for many more bookmarking sites.

I suggest you wait for the next release, but if you can’t wait then try out Sociable V0.35 which is currently in beta.

Related Posts plugin for WordPress

I just installed a plugin for WordPress that displays the related entries to a post. Unfortunately, I got the following error:

[You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '' at line 1]
SELECT ID, post_title, post_content,MATCH (post_name, post_content)
AGAINST (‘wordpress skins’) AS score FROM wp_posts WHERE MATCH
(post_name, post_content) AGAINST (‘wordpress skins’) AND post_date < =
’2006-02-19 08:27:18′ AND (post_status IN ( ‘publish’, ‘static’ ) && ID
!= ’96′) AND post_password =” ORDER BY score DESC LIMIT

I have reported about this error to the author of the plugin and hopefuly correct it soon.

I have put the link to the plugin’s page, incase you want to try it.

Update: I have fixed the error. Actually the error was because I had left the number of posts to show field in the options page empty.

EasyPHP is the Solution

Ever thought of testing your WordPress skins and plugins on your computer before using it on your site? Well, EasyPHP is the solution…

EasyPHP is for those who find the installation of Apache,PHP amd MySQL impossible. Using it you can test your site on your computer first before uploading to a Web server.

All you have to do is download it,install it and choose a name for your database and your server is ready. Put all your site files into the ‘www’ folder which is by default,located at “C:\Program Files\EasyPHP1-8\www”.

I mainly use EasyPHP to test my WordPress skins and plugins before using it on my site.

WordPress Skins

I have been searching for a good wordpress skin for about a week and had no luck till now. I am tired of searching different sites for wordpress skins, so I decided to put all the skins I find on my site with screenshots.

No more searching on other sites, I will create a WordPress Skin Library right here on my site for me and my readers.

I will categorize the skins by their type i.e, 2-column or 3-column.

I have started my evergrowing collection of WordPress Skins. Check it out in the WordPress Skin Library.

Improve Windows XP boot speed

  • Eliminate unwanted programs from boot up: You will find that many of the programs you install on your system set portions of themselves to run automatically when you start up your computer. Each program that runs on startup not only consume system resources but also extends the length of time it takes your PC to fully boot.Since it is generally unnecessary to have any programs running in the background (other than security software like virus-scanners or firewalls) disable your unwanted startup programs to increase your startup speed and conserve system resources.
